Double the size of a typical brass quintet, Solid Brass transports listeners on a journey through medieval ceremonial music, John Philip Sousa, Strauss, Bizet, Benny Goodman, the Beach Boys and more. Players are drawn from the New York Philharmonic and Metropolitan Opera orchestras, Broadway shows and major-label studio sessions. For more, see the performer biography.
Civic Music has hosted hundreds of terrific programs over its long and distinguished history, but we're pretty sure we’ve never had an evening with medieval ceremonial music, the opera “Carmen” and Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” all on the same bill. We're in for a treat with this concert program.
